Step 3: Making the Dead Tea Scrolls

Write something on your paper, then roll it from the bottom up, as tightly as you can manage. Be careful not to wrinkle the paper.

Take the string and wrap it around your scroll. Leave the first end dangling a bit, and wrap the rest until you have about 1cm of loose string on the second end.

Pinch the loose ends in your fingers, then use your other hand to rotate the scroll so the ends of the strings twist together. If you do this correctly, the ends will stay twisted together and hold your scroll shut.
